Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:
Lake Zurich officials expect a few hundred residents to drop by Sunday during the fire department’s annual open house. Residents are invited to the firehouse at 321 S. Buesching Road from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event especially targets kids to try and spread awareness of fire safety issues and education about fires, Fire Chief John Malcolm said.
The event will feature tables and vendors providing fire safety information and activities to teach children.
The department also will provide hot dogs, popcorn, and balloons. A fire sprinkler demonstration will show what happens to a fire in a building equipped with sprinklers and what happens to one without.
Firefighters also will provide training on how to use fire extinguishers, Malcolm said.
“A number of people have never seen or used one,” he said. “We cover the key points and give people an opportunity to ask questions, what type of extinguisher they should have in their homes or businesses.”
